Move It!

 

What, is this guy bonkers or want? Probably. But then again….

Someone up there just gave you a month, or perhaps even more, to stay at home and in many cases do what you like. So why not take advantage of it? There’s not usually many offers like this in the normal course of the world.

So yeah, I going to give you some ideas on how you can take advantage. But first a tiny little word of caution. About your physical health.

Lots of the new stay-at-homes are going to watch TV, play on their smartphone, or play videogames. Nothing wrong with that, but if that’s all they’re going to do, they’re going to add a lot of weight and degrade their health.

So, in the ideas below, I’m going to have a little bias to keep people moving and doing things that actually require physical exertion. You know, like you, well, actually sweat, god forbid. Its all in the course of you taking this opportunity to do some things that will lead to a longer, higher quality, more purposeful life.
